Revatīnandana: No, just take it philosophically. Can a person come from a void? Void means zero. But a person is not zero. He has so many personal qualities.
Student (1): I mean, if you stick to strict logic, you can't, no, right. I mean this isn't logical, is it?
Revatīnandana: Sometimes by logic you can find out what is false. What is truth, that we get from authority.
Student (1): You say it is logic because, say, everything in that book fits in with everything else, maybe. So it's a total form of logic in itself.
Student (3): Your logic starts from the assumption that the book is correct.
Prabhupāda: Then why you are arguing? That is logic. Why you are arguing? Why don't you accept what I say? Why you are arguing? That is logic.
Student (3): Because so many people say different things which conflict.
Prabhupāda: Therefore you are taking the shelter of logic. You are taking the shelter.
Student (1): Logic... Logic is arguing, isn't it?
Prabhupāda: No, logic means argument, reasoning. Our logic is because Kṛṣṇa is accepted by all great persons, authorities, we accept. Our logic is simple.
Student (1): But Christians might say the same thing. They might say, "Look at the Bible, This is our logic."
Prabhupāda: Yes, that's all right. They accept God; we accept God. The only difference is they do not know who is God, but we know who is God.
Student (1): No, they know who is God.
Prabhupāda: No.
Revatīnandana: You won't get any good information about God. "God is great. God created"—finished. That's not very much information. God's son? A little more information about God's son.
Student (1): But you've got no more right to say you know who is God than they have.
Revatīnandana: Oh, well, we have a lot more information about God, you see.
Student: In which way?
Revatīnandana: In these Vedas. There's a difference between the arithmetic book you get in the first grade of school and the calculus book in terms of the amount of information. We can tell you more about God because the Vedas give more information than the Bible. But the basic principle—"God is there. God is a person"—is in both places.
Prabhupāda: Jesus Christ is son of God. Therefore God must be person. A person can beget a son.
Student (1): God exists now.
Prabhupāda: Yes, always exists.
